Your aircraft comes with a 1S 3.7V DC Li-Po

battery charger and 1S 3.7V 150mAh 45C Li-Po

battery. Refer to the charging warnings.

It is recommended to charge the battery pack

while you are inspecting the aircraft. The ight

battery will be required to conrm proper aircraft

operation in future steps.

NOTICE: Charge only batteries that are cool to

the touch and are not damaged. Look at the

battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g.,

swollen, bent, broken or punctured.

1. Insert the charger into a USB port. The

charger only uses power from the USB port,

it will not connect to your computer. USB

power supplies, such as those used to charge

cellular phones, can also be used.

2. Slide the battery into the slot on the charger

and press it into the charge jack/connector

located at the bottom of the slot. The end cap

of the battery is specically designed to allow

the battery to t into the slot one way (usually

with the label on the battery facing outward)

to prevent reverse polarity connection, how-

ever, check for proper alignment and polarity.

3. Always disconnect the ight battery from the

charger immediately upon

completion of charging.

CAUTION: Only use

chargers specically

designed to charge the in-

cluded Li-Po battery. Failure

to do so could result in re,

causing injury or property

damage.

CAUTION: Never

exceed the recom-

mended charge rate.

LED Indications

When you make the connec-

tion successfully, the LED on

the charger turns solid red,

indicating charging has begun.

Charging a fully discharged

(not over-discharged) 150mAh

battery takes approximately

30–40 minutes.The light

goes out when the charge is

complete.

Flight Modes

The Nano S2 RTF comes with the Blade

MLP6DSM transmitter. This transmitter has a

ight mode switch that lets the pilot change

among the following ight modes.

Throttle Hold (switch position 0)

Throttle hold is used to turn off the

helicopter motors if the helicopter is out

of control, in danger of crashing or both.

Activate throttle hold anytime the helicopter

is in danger to reduce the chance of

damaging the helicopter in a crash.

Stability Mode Z (switch position 1)

• Stability Mode is typically preferred by

pilots with less experience ying collective

pitch helicopters.

• The helicopter will limit the bank angle,

even with full control input, and return the

aircraft to a level ight attitude when the

controls are released.

• The yaw rate is slowed for ease of control.

• The Panic Recovery button returns the

helicopter to upright, level attitude.

• The throttle mode is normal.

Low throttle stick position = 0% throttle.

• The helicopter uses the stability sensor to

help control ascent and descent rates.

3D Mode (switch position 2 )

• 3D Mode is intended for pilots with

experience with collective pitch

helicopters.

• The model will NOT return to a level

attitude position when you release the

controls.

• The helicopter has no bank angle limit.

• Both the cyclic and yaw controls are at

fast, aerobatic rate.

• The Panic Recovery button returns the

helicopter to a level attitude, either upright

or inverted, whichever is closer.

• The throttle mode is “Idle up.” The motor

remains at a constant speed, regardless

of the throttle stick position. The throttle

stick controls the pitch of the main rotor

blades.

If you choose to use a computer radio,

programmed as shown in the Transmitter

Setup Table section, the ight mode switch

gives the pilot the choice between the

following ight modes:

Stability Mode Z (switch position 0) as

previously described.

Stability Mode (switch position 1)

• Stability Mode shares the same

characteristics as Sability Z mode but

without the stability sensor to help control

the ascent and descent rates.

3D Mode (switch position 2) as previously

described.

Activate Throttle Hold with the Hold switch.

Flying the Nano S2

First Flight Preparation

• Remove and inspect contents

• Begin charging the ight battery

• Program your computer transmitter (BNF)

• Install the ight battery in the helicopter

(once it has been fully charged)

• Bind your transmitter (BNF)

• Familiarize yourself with the controls

• Find a suitable area for ying

Flying Checklist

❏ Always turn the transmitter on ﬁrst

❏ Plug the ight battery into the lead from

the ESC

❏ Allow the receiver and ESC to initialize

and arm properly

❏ Fly the model

❏ Land the model

❏ Unplug the ight battery from the ESC

❏ Always turn the transmitter off last

Panic Recovery

If you get into distress while ying in any

mode, push and hold the Bind/Panic Switch

and move the control sticks to their neutral

position. SAFE

technology will immediately

return the aircraft to an upright level attitude,

if the aircraft is at a sufcient height with no

obstacles in its path. Return the collective

stick to 50% and release the Panic Switch

to turn off Panic Recovery and return to the

current ight mode.

• This mode is intended to provide the

pilot with the condence to continue to

improve their ight skills.

• Move the collective stick to 50% and

return all other transmitter controls to

neutral for the quickest recovery.

• Once the model has reached a level

upright attitude the negative collective is

reduced preventing the user from pushing

the model into the ground.

NOTICE: Before releasing the panic

switch, make sure the collective stick has

been returned to the 50% position. Once

the panic switch has been released, full

negative collective becomes available,

which could cause the Nano S2 to

descend rapidly.

Consult your local laws and ordinances

before choosing a location to y your aircraft.

We recommend ying your aircraft outside

in calm winds or inside a large gymnasium.

Always avoid ying near houses, trees, wires

and buildings. You should also be careful to

avoid ying in areas where there are many

people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or

soccer elds.

It is best to y from a smooth at surface

as this will allow the model to slide

without tipping over. Keep the helicopter

approximately 2 ft (600mm) above the

ground. Keep the tail pointed toward you

during initial ights to keep the control

orientation consistent. Releasing the stick in

Beginner Mode will allow the helicopter to

level itself and activating the Panic Recovery

button will level the helicopter quickly. If you

become disoriented while in Beginner Mode,

slowly lower the throttle stick to land softly.

During initial ights, only attempt takeoff,

landing and hovering in one spot.

Takeo

Place the model onto a at, level surface

free of obstacles and walk back 30 feet (10

meters). Slowly increase the throttle until

the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm)

off the ground and check the trim so the

model ies as desired. Once the trim is

adjusted, begin ying the model.

Hovering

Making small corrections on the

transmitter, try to hold the helicopter in

one spot. If ying in calm winds, the model

should require almost no corrective inputs.

After moving the cyclic stick and returning

it to center the model should level itself.

The model may continue to move due to

inertia. Move the cycle stick in the opposite

direction to stop the movement.

After you become comfortable hovering,

you can progress into ying the model to

different locations, keeping the tail pointed

towards you at all times. You can also

ascend and descend using the throttle

stick. Once you’re comfortable with these

maneuvers, you can attempt ying with the

tail in different orientations. It is important

to keep in mind that the ight control inputs

will rotate with the helicopter, so always try

to picture the control inputs relative to the

nose of the helicopter. For example, forward

will always drop the nose of the helicopter.

Low Voltage Cuto (LVC)

LVC decreases the power to the motors

when the battery voltage gets low. When

the motor power decreases and the red

LED on the ESC ashes, land the aircraft

immediately and recharge the ight battery.

LVC does not prevent the battery from over-

discharge during storage.

NOTICE: Repeated ying to LVC will

damage the battery.

Landing

To land, slowly decrease the throttle while

in a low-level hover. After landing, discon-

nect and remove the battery from the air-

craft after use to prevent trickle discharge.

Fully charge your battery before storing

it. During storage, make sure the battery

charge does not fall below 3V per cell.

Problem Possible Cause Solution

LED on receiver

ashes rapidly and

aircraft will not bind to

transmitter

(during binding)

Transmitter is too near aircraft

during binding process

Power off transmitter, move

transmitter a larger distance from

aircraft, disconnect and reconnect

ight battery to aircraft and follow

binding instructions

Bind switch or button was not

held while transmitter was

powered on

Power off transmitter and repeat

bind process

Aircraft or transmitter is too

close to large metal object,

wireless source or another

transmitter

Move aircraft and transmitter

to another location and attempt

binding again

LED on receiver

ashes rapidly

and aircraft will not

respond to transmitter

(after binding)

Less than a 5-second wait

between rst powering on

transmitter and connecting

ight battery to aircraft

Leaving transmitter on, disconnect

and reconnect ight battery to

aircraft

Aircraft is bound to a

different model memory

(ModelMatch

radios only)

Select correct model memory on

transmitter and disconnect and

reconnect ight battery to aircraft

Flight battery/transmitter

battery charge is too low

Replace/recharge batteries

Transmitter may have been

bound to a different model

(or with a different DSM

Protocol)

Select the right transmitter or bind

to the new one

Aircraft or transmitter is too

close to large metal object,

wireless source or another

transmitter

Move aircraft and transmitter

to another location and attempt

connecting again

Helicopter vibrates or

shakes in ight

Damaged rotor blades,

spindle or blade grips

Check main rotor blades and blade

grips for cracks or chips. Replace

damaged parts. Replace bent

spindle

Dri Calibration

The helicopter has been calibrated in the

factory before shipment, but it is possible

that a crash will cause mechanical distortion

of the frame, resulting in a slight drift in

Stability mode. In this situation, please follow

the calibration procedure.

Before begining the cailbration procedure,

fully chage the ight battery and ensure

the helicopter and transmitter are bound

properly, per the binding instructions.

To calibrate the Blade Nano S2:

1. After initialization, move the transmitter

sticks to the bottom, outside corners, as

shown in the illustration.

When the red and blue LEDs on the main

control board ash slowly, calibration

mode is active.

2. Release the sticks.

3. Slowly advance the throttle to bring the

helicopter into a low hover. The red and

blue LEDs ash rapidly to indicate the

calibration process has begun. Hold the

hover for approximately 15 seconds, using

as little control input as possible to keep

the helicopter steady.

4. Land the helicopter by slowly lowering

the throttle.

5. After Landing, press the bind/panic button

to complete the calibration process. The

LED will show solid blue.
